Abstract

The article examines the legacy of the Ottoman millet system, which bases identity policies and problems in contemporary Turkey and Cyprus. The author talks about the millet system's capability to recognize diversity institutionally and create a political environment for the reproduction of diverse cultures to a certain extent. Also tackled are the reasons why the system does not provide a promising ground to satisfy the demands of certain identity groups.
